The Kaskaskia River and its numerous tributaries, including Wolf Creek and Fanny Branch, carve through the Illinois countryside where Shelby, Fayette, and Effingham Counties meet. This modern survey illustrates the enduring rural structure of the region, anchored by the village of Beecher City and smaller locales like Holliday, Moccasin, and Wrights Corner. The landscape is a network of section roads and small watercourses, such as Richland Creek and Moccasin Creek, that have long dictated the placement of agricultural boundaries and transport routes.
